A cleverly voiced psychological thriller about an unforgettable and unsettling friendship, filled with chilling twists and sharp wit. Art Barbara, a seventeen-year-old high school loner in the late 1980s, is anything but cool. He listens to hair metal, wears a back brace for scoliosis, and starts a club for volunteer pallbearers at poorly attended funerals. His new friend, however, finds the Pallbearers’ Club fascinating and brings her Polaroid camera to capture images of the deceased. Art's friend has an unsettling obsession with a notorious piece of New England folklore involving the dead, and strange, terrifying occurrences seem to follow her, especially at night. Despite the oddities, Art embraces their friendship. Decades later, he attempts to understand their past by writing a memoir titled 'The Pallbearers’ Club.' However, his friend has acquired the manuscript and has issues with its content, leading to unexpected consequences. Seamlessly blending fiction with memory and the supernatural with the mundane, this story offers an immersive and suspenseful exploration of a friendship that is both unforgettable and deeply unsettling.
